The only parts of the old weapon data that worked well (didn't commonly
result in empty pylons) did this implicitly, so make the grouping
explicit.
This also moves the data out of Python and into the resources, which
both makes the data moddable and isolates us from a huge amount of
effort and a save compat break whenever ED changes weapon names.
I didn't auto migrate the old data since the old groups were not
explict and there's no way to infer the grouping. Besides, since most of
the weapons were *not* grouped, the old data did more harm than good in
my experience. I've handled the AIM-120 and AIM-7 for now, but will get
at least all the fox 3 missiles before we ship.
Aircraft that have no loadouts at all (such as the IL-78M) will have no
loadouts and thus no values in the dropdown menu. If the player toggles
the custom layout box we reset the flight's loadout to the selected
loadout, and with no loadouts in the combo box that is None, and
`Flight.loadout` isn't supposed to be optional.
Check for that case in the loadout selector and replace with an empty
loadout if that happens.

This also adds max group sizes for aircraft that need it but don't
according to DCS. Only the first tanker or AEW&C unit in a group can be
contacted by radio.
This is an attempt to remove a lot of our supposedly unnecessary error
handling. Every aircraft should have a price, a description, a name,
etc; and none of those should require carrying around the faction's
country as context.
This moves all the data for aircraft into yaml files (only one converted
here as an example). Most of the "extended unit info" isn't actually
being read yet.
To replace the renaming of units based on the county, we instead
generate multiple types of each unit when necessary. The CF-18 is just
as much a first-class type as the F/A-18 is.
This doesn't work in its current state because it does break all the
existing names for aircraft that are used in the faction and squadron
files, and we no longer let those errors go as a warning. It will be an
annoying one time switch, but it allows us to define the names that get
used in these files instead of being sensitive to changes as they happen
in pydcs, and allows faction designers to specifically choose, for
example, the Su-22 instead of the Su-17.
One thing not handled by this is aircraft task capability. This is
because the lists in ai_flight_planner_db.py are a priority list, and to
move it out to a yaml file we'd need to assign a weight to it that would
be used to stack rank each aircraft. That's doable, but it makes it much
more difficult to see the ordering of aircraft at a glance, and much
more annoying to move aircraft around in the priority list. I don't
think this is worth doing, and the priority lists will remain in their
own separate lists.
This includes the converted I used to convert all the old unit info and
factions to the new format. This doesn't need to live long, but we may
want to reuse it in the future so we want it in the version history.
In the *new* package dialog, a package has been created and may have
aircraft assigned to it, but it is not a part of the ATO until the user
saves it.
Other actions (modifying settings, closing some other dialogs like the
base menu) can cause a Game update which will forcibly close this window
without either accepting or rejecting it, so we neither save the package
nor release any allocated units.
While it would be preferable to be able to update this dialog as needed
in the event of game updates, the quick fix is to just not allow
interaction with other UI elements until the new package has either been
finalized or canceled.

This is just a hack that automatically converts the assigned pilots to
players if needed. This really needs to be replaced with a roster editor
like the flight edit screen has, but that also requires squadron
selection, which isn't a thing we're ready for yet.

Loadout selection no longer has two (disagreeing) implementations. What
the UI shows is now what the miz will have.
We now store the chosen layout in the Flight *always*, not just for
custom loadouts. This means that we do loadout lookups at the start of
each turn, but the data is cached in pydcs.
Era-specific loadout degradation is still done at generation (and
presentation) time. This is so that players can toggle that option and
have it affect the *current* turn, rather than the next one.
UI isn't finished. Bulk transfers where the player doesn't care what
aircraft get used work (though they're chosen with no thought at all),
but being able to plan your own airlift flight isn't here yet.
Cargo planes are not implemented yet.
No way to view the cargo of a flight (will come with the cargo flight
planning UI).
The airlift flight/package creation should probably be moved out of the
UI and into the game code.
AI doesn't use these yet.
